Per the owner's manual, it is an 800 watt unit.

Click on this link, then enter your model number "wes0930" and then click on "Use and Care Manual" to download your manual:

I've never heard of a microwave that lets you change the cooking power output. The magnetron tube that produces the microwaves only has off or on modes. No "low wattage" mode.

The "percentage cooking power" adjustments you can make on the control panel only cycle the microwaves on and off to reduce the amount of time the oven is actually cooking.

If this information was useful, please select YES to the first two rating questions. Good Luck and thank you!

I have a Lamona HJA7020 microwave - what is the wattage?

There is a method described in this article that can be used even if you can't find a manual.

Quoting: "To find an approximation of your machine's wattage, fill a microwave-safe liquid measuring cup with 1 cup cold water. Microwave on High and keep an eye on it, noting how long it takes for the water to come to a boil:
  • 1 1/2 minutes: 1,200 watts
  • 2 minutes: 1,000 watts
  • 2 1/2 minutes: 800 watts
  • 3 minutes: 700 watts
  • 4 minutes: 600 watts

What is the wattage for ER-4010

Most home Microwaves draw about 12-14 amps. You could figure your wattage at about 1680 watts. Calculated by factoring the voltage of most units 120V times the typical amperage draw of 12-14 amps. so wattage is volts times amps or (12-14 X 120) 1440-1680 watts

What is the wattage

Wattage refer to the power level of the machine. The higher the watt number the more power full is the machine - for example a 900 watt microwave oven will boil water quicker than a 500 watt oven.

I want to know how many watts my 2002 jvm1430bd002 microwave has...I have googled this question and have answers ranging from 700 to 1200! what gives???

Conduct what the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service calls a "Time-to-Boil" test, which will help you estimate your microwave's wattage. Add 1 cup of water to a microwave-safe 2-cup measure. Add ice cubes and stir until the water is icy cold. Pour out the excess water, leaving just 1 cup. Place the measuring cup inside the microwave. Set the oven for four minutes on high. Watch through the glass to see when the water boils. If it takes less than two minutes, the microwave is 1,000 watts or more; if it takes 2.5 minutes, the oven has a rating of 800 watts or more; if it boils in 3 minutes, the estimated wattage is 650 to 700.

Wattage for mc 1000b microwave

By the name I would think that it is a 1000 watt Microwave. Wattage as in cooking power is what you wanted? Running wattage, a 15 amp circuit will work fine. A 120 volt, 1000 watt microwave will use 13.4 amps (1,600 watts) of electricity in a full power cooking cycle. I think that covers everything! ..:)

Hi,
You can find the power of this oven on the back of the oven, it is marked as Power Consumption. Whatever the number is the power of your oven. For example if the power consumption is 1200 watts then your oven is a 1200 watt oven. I hope this helps you.
Have a great day!

I have a Jenn Air over the stove microwave oven JMV8000ADW. How do I compare 1 through 10 power of my oven (1450 wattage)when looking through microwave cookbooks of lesser wattage? How do I compare their...

Power level 1 = 10%, 2 = 20%, 9 = 90%, etc.

So 1000/1450 ~ .69, so use power level 7.

Wattage

The output power for model MA-780 was 700 watts, so I'd bet yours is either 600 or 700 watts.
